I have long ago lost all faith in M. Night Shyamalan, but my goodness this trailer for his new sci-fi film, After Earth, looks terrific:

“Fear is the mind-killer.” Heh heh.

Here’s a trailer for the new end-of-the-world comedy, This is the End, featuring Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, and a heck of a lot of other very funny people (Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Mindy Kaling, and more), apparently all playing themselves:

That’s because there’s not that much more to say. There’s not much in here that’s too terribly different than what we saw in the announcement teaser. It’ll be interesting to see the full context of Pike’s ominous declaration that “there’s not an ounce of humility” in Kirk. Pike was Kirk’s biggest champion in the first film, and while I agree that the Kirk we saw in that film DIDN’T have an ounce of humility in him — he thought he was the smartest/toughest guy in the room at the beginning of the film and all the way through — it’ll be interesting to see how/why Pike changes his view. I hope this results in some growth and mellowing for this version of Kirk. The Captain Kirk I remember was definitely an alpha male, but that didn’t often tip over into outright arrogance.
